Best Benjamin Moore Exterior Paint Colors

Are you searching for the best Benjamin Moore exterior paint colors to enhance your curb appeal, and create an exterior look that will be the envy of the neighborhood? The right paint color can give you the transformation you’ve been dreaming of, but the wrong color could become a costly mistake.

One of my favorite things to do as a designer is help homeowners choose new paint colors for their exterior, and over the years I’ve curated a list of my all-time favorite paint colors. Earlier this week, I published a post about my favorite Sherwin-Williams paint colors for exteriors, and today I’ve rounded up my favorite Benjamin Moore exterior paint colors for you.

These 12 colors are the best-performing, most consistent Benjamin Moore exterior paint colors that I recommend time and time again to my clients.

In this post, I’ll show you each exterior paint color with simple white trim, so that you can easily see the pure color by itself. However, all of these colors can be combined with other hues and shades to create a gorgeous and sophisticated color palette for your home’s exterior. I’ve mentioned a few of my favorite coordinating colors below. 

1. Benjamin Moore White Dove

White Dove is a beautiful, bright, warm white with a touch of gray that gives it a nice soft look. If you’re looking for a bright white, but one that won’t blind your neighbors or look too stark, this is a fantastic choice! White Dove is a very popular white for exteriors (trim too), and tends to work well in all lighting conditions. Pair it with BM Wrought Iron for that ever-popular modern farmhouse look. If you want something just a bit more creamy, but still nice and bright, check out BM Swiss Coffee – another classic.

2. China White/Seapearl

China White and Seapearl are the exact same paint color, just different names. This is a great choice for an off-white, because it’s really more of a light warm greige. The undertones are very neutral, so you won’t see yellow or beige coming through. With its greige notes, it pairs just as beautifully with blues and greens, as it does with dark brown or bronze accents, and can give a smoother transition with gray stonework.

3. Edgecomb Gray

Edgecomb Gray is a warm greige, that can lean more gray on a cloudy day, and more beige in the warm afternoon sun. It’s a soft and sophisticated neutral that appears very light when painted on exteriors.  This is a great option if you want something slightly darker than off-white, but don’t want to go too far into the darker beige or gray categories.  I love using Edgecomb Gray with white trim, and blue or teal accents.

4. Revere Pewter

Revere Pewter is another fabulous greige paint color. It’s darker and has less beige to it than Edgecomb Gray. It also has a slight gray-green undertone that can show itself in certain lighting. Revere Pewter is beloved for interiors, but its timeless quality allows it to work just as well as an exterior body color. This is a very versatile shade that looks great with both white and dark trim colors.

5. Stonington Gray

Stonington Gray is a lovely, medium gray with cool, blue undertones. In most lighting conditions, it will look look perfectly gray, but it can show its blue notes on north-facing homes. With its crisp, cool nature, I love pairing Stonington Gray with fun pops of color on the front door.

6. Cape May Cobblestone

Cape May Cobblestone is a solid choice in the gray family. It has a classic, elegant feel with its warm undertones, and tends to be in the sweet spot of not too light, and not too dark. It works well in pretty much all lighting conditions, never showing any undesirable undertones like some other grays can.

7. Boothbay Gray

Part of their Historic Collection, Boothbay Gray is one of my most favorite Benjamin Moore colors, and I’m not just talking about exteriors. It is a beautifully balanced blue-gray (with a touch of green) that looks sophisticated and elegant wherever it’s used. I recommend this color often for shutters and front doors, especially paired with a creamy off-white body. However, it’s equally gorgeous as a body color, and can be a perfect choice for a subtle coastal look.

8. Sag Harbor Gray

Sag Harbor Gray sits somewhere between a grayish-brown and a sage green, and in certain lighting, can shift toward one side of the spectrum more than the other.  It has a distinctive, natural, traditional quality to it, and its green undertones can help your exterior blend in with surrounding trees and landscaping. Sag Harbor Gray looks equally beautiful with dark or light colored trim, and pairs nicely with other earthy tones.

9. Creekside Green

Looking for a sage green for your exterior? Well, then you should definitely consider Creekside Green. A timeless Benjamin Moore paint color, and a favorite among architects and designers alike.  If you gathered up all of the best colors in nature and combined then, you’d have the gray-green shade of Creekside Green. It has an organic and serene quality that is hard to beat.

10. Chelsea Gray

Chelsea Gray is a refined, warm gray that sits between a medium gray and a charcoal. It tends to work really well with brick accents, and can have a slight green undertone, which helps it blend nicely with surrounding landscaping.

11. Hale Navy

Possibly the best navy blue paint color of all time for both interiors and exteriors. Yes, it’s that good! Ask any designer for a great navy blue paint color, and Hale Navy will be at the top of our list. What makes it so special is that it’s slightly desaturated, and has just a tiny hint of green to keep it from leaning toward purple. This is a dark, sophisticated, timeless color for exteriors, and looks amazing with white trim and a fun pop of color on the front door.

12. Kendall Charcoal

You just heard me say that Hale Navy is the best navy blue, and Kendall Charcoal is the my top pick for the best charcoal paint color ever made. It’s just one of those grays that looks amazing everywhere it’s painted, both for interiors and exteriors. Kendall Charcoal is perfectly balanced, with a hint of warmth. It never reads blue or purple, and works with most color schemes. It’s a dark, luxurious color for exteriors that looks gorgeous with white accents, and equally beautiful with wood tones.
